    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows 10 Reset - What is the definition of "personal file" and will reset keep key?

    Q:Windows 10 Reset - What is the definition of "personal file" and will reset keep key?

    **There's a bug??? The platform won't let me choose the category "Update or Recovery"

    My PC isn't running well. Lag spikes every few seconds in my browser, can't uninstall several installation because of file corruptions, etc. Therefore, I would like to use the Windows 10 built in "refresh" reset function.

    But I have several questions even though I've searched on Google:

    1. What is the definition of "personal file"? Does it means everything except program file and windows file? Because I do programming and I do keep my things in many places including the root of the Windows installation drive.

    2. Will the reset remember my key? Will I have to re-enter the key?

    3. Is "reset" in Windows 10 the same as "refresh" in Windows 8? Will it generate a list of programs I have uninstalled because of the re-installation?

    4. Is there anything else that I should be aware of?
